    Thank you for showcasing the styling on the wrist from afar too. Almost no creators do that and that is a huge component

    Great review, fella. Love your enthusiasm for the watch, it's a stunner. I've been looking at this very model of late, along with their Reef. Love the industrial design language of this. The finishing looks to be very high quality indeed.

      I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I appreciate it! Same here I’ve been looking at the Reef. Definitely a compelling dive watch from Formex. I really think Formex is doing things right.

    It’s such a cool watch. I’ve had my eye on the grey dial version for a while, but that white dial is gorgeous. I love the bolts on the bezel.

      It really is! Glad I finally pulled the trigger on it. The grey is really nice. I almost went the the navy dial but ended up going with white.

      Actually the bolts aren’t fixed on the bezel are fixed on the case plus they function as a suspension springs very cool 👌 have the fummè dial and Essence Legerra 41 bought are cosc certified good watches now they get more expensive around 250 plus

    This is super random. I was searching new reviews of this watch on TH-cam since all the previous ones are from a few years back, and yours was literally posted an hour ago! Great review. I’m thinking of getting the exact model. Love that white dial!

      @@humblegent4741 yeah I think I’m going to sell my PRX auto to help fund it! That white dial on the Formex is just stunning. Really gives off the white dial Aqua Terra vibes!

    Excellent review. You’re the first reviewer I’ve seen actually explain the suspension system. I’m not sure I like the idea of a moving part that could go wrong? Many thanks - subscribed from England, GB.

    Informative video, really appreciate the positive attitude, showing us the watch up close and afar, and the comparisons to other watches! If you could work in some text for the specs, I think it would take your watch reviews to the next level.

    It really does take some great design inspo from the aqua terra, the grand seiko sbgv quartz case and hands. Lovely watch, very well built, and independent!

    • @humblegent4741
      @humblegent4741  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree it really does. I've really been enjoying it so far!

    I just purchased this watch at WindUp NYC degrade dial. I also own the Aqua Terra. Love both, but been rocking the Formex exclusively since purchase. So comfy and really has a one of a kind look IMHO.

    Damn I’ve been eyeing the formex after falling in love with the AT with strap. It’s a great alternative and I think it looks better. Now I gotta pick a dial lol

    Thanks for giving us a wrist/fit shot from a distance. I have a similar build and a 7.25 wrist…I was thinking a 39 might be too small.

    Torn between this and the 43mm, same wrist size as you, have you tried the 43mm as well?

    Nice review! For all what you get this Formex seems to punch well above its weight! Not many good value watches left these days. This is clearly one!

    Nothing is better than the Aqua Terra. But it has it own charm
